Los Angeles: protests on the tactics of hard line immigration on in the United States on Wednesday after days of demonstrations in Los Angeles, while California prepared for a legal confrontation with the White House about the deployment of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, of the military.
More than 1,000 people concentrated in the second largest city in the United States for a sixth day of protests, with the peaceful crowd while marching through the streets.
A second touch night was expected while city leaders tried to handle vandalism after darkness and looting that marked a few blocks from the city in the 500 square miles metropolis (1,300 square kilometers).
“I would say that mostly everything is Hunky Dory here in Zero Zero,” Lynn Sturgis, 66, a 66 -year -old, a retired school teacher, told the protester. AFP.
“Our city is not on fire, it is not burning, since our terrible leader is trying to tell you.”
The mostly peaceful protests went on a sudden escalation in efforts to stop migrants who were illegally.
The pockets of violence, including the burning of autonomous taxis and launch stones in the police, were nothing that the 8,500 officers of the Los Angeles Police Department had not treated before.
Trump won the elections last year partly in the promises to combat what he says is an “invasion” of undocumented migrants.
He is now taking the opportunity to make political capital, ordering the California National Guard to unfold despite the objections of Governor Gavin Newsom, the first time a president of the United States has taken such measures in decades.
“We are going to have a safe country,” journalists told a theater presentation.
“We are not going to have what would have happened in Los Angeles. Remember, if it weren’t there … Los Angeles would have been burning to the ground.”
Around 1,000 of the 4,700 Trump displayed troops were actively protecting the facilities and working together with the ICE agents, said Scott Sherman, deputy director of the North General Army, who is main operations.
The rest, including 700 marines in active duty, gathered or underwent training to deal with civil disturbances, he said.
The Pentagon has said that the deployment will cost taxpayers $ 134 million.
Governor Newsom, a Democrat, has accused that Trump is trying to intensify the confrontation for political benefit.
His lawyers were expected to demand a temporary restriction order on Thursday that would prevent troops from accompanying immigration officers while arresting migrants.
The administration lawyers described the application as a “rude political trick.”
Newsom said that unprecedented militarization would slide beyond the borders of its status.
“Democracy is under assault just before our eyes,” he said on Tuesday. “California can be the first, but it will not end here.”
National protests that grow
Despite Trump’s threats to deploy the National Guard in other Democratic Administration states about the objections of the governors, the protesters seem unchanged.
Manifestations were reported in St Louis, Raleigh, Manhattan, Indianapolis and Denver.
In San Antonio, hundreds marched and sang near the City Council, according to reports, where Texas Republican governor Greg Abbott has deployed the National Guard of the State.
On Saturday a national movement of “No Reyes” was expected, when Trump will attend a very unusual military parade in the capital of the United States.
The parade, with combat and tanks, has been organized to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States Army Foundation, but it is also the day of Trump’s 79th birthday.
‘Inflamed’ situation
The Trump administration is painting protests as a violent threat to the Nation, which requires that the military force support regular immigration agents and the police.
But the mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, said the crisis had been manufactured in Washington.
“A week ago, everything was peaceful in the city of Los Angeles,” he told reporters.
“Things began to be difficult on Friday when the raids took place … That is the cause of problems.
“This was caused by the White House.”
The arrests of masked and armed men continued on Wednesday.
A Downey suburb pastor said five armed men driving cars outside the State grabbed a Spanish -speaking man in church parking.
When she challenged the men and asked for her numbers and names of the badge, they refused.
“They pointed to me their rifle and they told me: ‘You need to return,” López told the Ktla station.
Images seen by AFP It shows what it seems to be federal agents that pack a car in the Los Angeles Boyle Heights area.
Some type of smoke device and masked men with assault weapons order a man in the car, leaving what witnesses said they were his wife and very shaken children.
